What TC is talking about is exactly why Marvel has been so successful in the past few years, IMO. The light, comic tone really makes the movies fun to watch, and makes them endlessly rewatchable. (Especially Iron Man, Avengers, and GOTG.)
They went for a little more dark and serious with Winter Soldier, and will probably continue with that tone in Avengers 2, I just hope they remember to keep them light.
This is also what made the original SW trilogy so great and what the prequels lacked (though I still enjoy them). Here's hoping JJ approached Episode VII that way.
I feel like Marvel almost takes it too far in the other direction a lot of times, but for the most part, I agree.
And JJ doing a Star Wars movie may ultimately end up being my absolute perfect/favorite tone of blockbuster. Fingers crossed.
